I’m sorry you’re in this position but it sounds like you’re making the right choice for yourself. I wish you the best!

You say that he’s a good man, but his emotional unavailability has made you miserable. That sucks, and I’m sorry.

I recently broke up with someone after almost a year. It wasn’t the same as being married for years and I definitely wasn’t in love, but that is how I described it. His best friends were shocked and couldn’t believe it and why did this happen?! I felt like I was a chair. It’s nice to have a chair, but if you don’t,…

Get out before you have kids! Be selfish. Choose your own path. You will be so much happier!

Good for you. No one should feel like an accessory.

The last paragraph just about perfectly sums it up. You know exactly what you are talking about. You deserve someone who is your partner in every sense of the word. Never settle for anything else.

Your story is eerily similar to mine. At 32, I’d moved more times than years I’d been alive. My ex was gearing up for another move. I put my foot down, and he left me. Last I heard he was still a moving maniac...& it’s been 10 years in the same apartment, for me.

Right on, stay strong!

I have no advice to offer or anything (not that you asked), but I just wanted to say that this post is amazing, and so are you. I wish I had half your bravery and self-confidence. You’ll do great.

He sees me as an accessory to his life, the person who will unquestioningly give up her own dreams and aspirations to support his.

I am so proud of you. You will thrive!

I gave birth last Saturday, when I was only 25 weeks along, because my high blood pressure turned into preeclampsia and then HELLP syndrome in a matter of days. Original plan was to keep me at the hospital for as many weeks as possible before delivery, but my labs turned bad and then worse and doctors think I would…

No. People can’t not do illegal drugs. And having an unpopular opinion doesn’t automatically make you some ultra-rational speaker of plain truths. Sometimes opinions are unpopular because their fucking stupid, and holding them just makes you a naive idiot. 

I eloped yesterday! It was small and quick as hell and awesome.

I can hear my uterus typing her resignation letter.

A bunch of my friends have had babies in the past couple of years and they have all remained relatively normal. Or at least no crazier than they were pre-motherhood. I have a feeling these women would be awful with or without children.

Today I was walking with my boyfriend behind a gaggle of toddlers and I was like “why do you want one of those again?” and he was like “kids are fun!”. Sending him this article so he’s fully aware of the monster I will apparently become if one exits my womb.

I think this story made me even more lesbian, and I’m pretty goddamn non-child-wanting lesbian! The fuck is wrong with these people?! 

I reacted to this story in much the same way as the Frelee the Banana Girl saga, in that I don’t understand who any of these people are or what is happening, but I can’t stop reading.

I’d do the same, but I’m pretty sure the IUD string would hang out of one of my nostrils.
